The old man's face is something that Wen Xishu is quite afraid of.
In this world, there's a saying that babies always resemble other babies, and old people always resemble other old people.
When Wen Xishu saw that face, his first reaction was surprise and familiarity, but ultimately, that face froze into someone he was even more familiar with.
One of the Five Elders, Luo Feng.
Indeed, Wen Xishu is very sure about one thing: it's hard to say whether he can surpass Albert in the future, but he can definitely surpass the Five Elders.
But that still requires time. Right now, in the Deceit Tower Academy, when Wen Xishu, transformed into a bundle of water weeds or bandages, catches the assassin—
The assassin's appearance is no longer that of the third-year senior of Slaughter Tower Academy, Na Gu.
But is, instead, the hidden expert on the Slaughter Tower Celestial Ladder List—one of the Five Elders, Luo Feng.
This former servant of Mr. Jin has now become the person attacking Wen Xishu. At this moment, Wen Xishu thought of many things.
Mr. Jin is not here, Liu Zhizai is not here, the William Family probably won't target me recently. If forced to choose two among the Five Elders to kill me...
Matthews Jones and Luo Feng might indeed be possible.
But why?
Aren't they afraid of Albert's wrath?
Or is it that the old principal and Mr. Jin have both entered the Slaughter Tower, with something to say?
The Slaughter Tower is the big world, fundamentally different from the Deceit Tower. The Deceit Tower, one might say, has different layers and tasks, all existing in different times.
But the Slaughter Tower is not.
Mr. Jin leaves, and I'm immediately faced with an assassination attempt by the Five Elders. This is just outrageous.
A lot of information floated through Wen Xishu's mind, but he still couldn't find a reasonable explanation.
Luo Feng's strength is frightening; even though Wen Xishu's body at this moment is extremely abstract and indescribable, Luo Feng could sense its aura.
Despite the body's transformation, almost immune to being mortally wounded, Luo Feng seemed to sense the most fragile spot of this form.
One of the Five Elders, he could seemingly penetrate the opponent's weaknesses.
Luo Feng's hand instantly took on a form similar to the "Piercing Hand" from karate, attacking a black bandage.
In that moment, the black bandage collectively turned crimson, as if soaked with blood.
Wen Xishu felt a powerful force coming at him.
No chance of winning.
This thought surged through his mind; he was no match for the Five Elders.
He had to flee here, reach the Memory Record facility.
The bandage rapidly unfolded like a blooming lotus flower, then contracted in an instant.
Luo Feng's body was bound immediately.
Because Wen Xishu was heavily injured, now in a low-health state, his sequence of runes, a gift from Sirius—the Earth Marsh Trapped Beast—started providing Wen Xishu with "geographical advantage."
Soon, a strange rule emerged: creatures in human form will feel high-magnitude gravity.
But creatures not in human form will not be affected.
This rule, seemingly not very strong, truthfully saved Wen Xishu's life.
Luo Feng's body forcefully broke free from the bandage's bindings, the terrifying power instantly snapped the bandage, but the next second when Luo Feng planned to press his advantage and use frightening strength to kill the fleeing Wen Xishu...
He suddenly realized his speed had slowed.
And part of the bandages that didn't participate in binding Luo Feng tried to escape, like a serpent, swiftly speeding towards a book-like building facility.
"Stop running!"
Luo Feng was indeed one of the Five Elders, maintaining rapid speed despite the multiply-enhanced gravity, still outpacing the transformed Wen Xishu.
Yet Wen Xishu wasn't flustered; though severely injured, he wasn't a lamb waiting for slaughter.
The cooldown for Perfect Bounce is very short, only twelve seconds.
And as Luo Feng's speed slowed, Wen Xishu could finally react; when Luo Feng drew near him, another powerful Piercing Hand came forth!
Wen Xishu perfectly captured this strike!
Perfect Bounce, perfectly bouncing back Luo Feng's strike.
Luo Feng spat out a mouthful of blood.
He truly hadn't anticipated that this bandage-like flexible body would have a protective shield-like touch.
Now even Luo Feng hesitated, while Wen Xishu wasted no time, fleeing desperately!
As long as he could reach the facility, with some memories, he would have assistance.
Luo Feng also seemed aware of this. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth—a sign that the previous strike was intended to be a lethal blow.
Yet he hadn't expected that tiny gap of 0.25 seconds would be perfectly seized by Wen Xishu.
This person is truly difficult to kill!
Luo Feng, hands in Piercing Hand form, planned to launch a series of attacks.
And recently, as the bandage-like body was being shattered by Luo Feng, Wen Xishu's health further dropped, the Earth Marsh Trapped Beast began a new geographical advantage.
Chaotic Maze.
Simply put, those within the maze range would experience sensory interference. Though they perceive themselves as running forward, the direction might be reversed.
Luo Feng suddenly accelerated, yet abruptly widened the distance from Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu, thanks to the "geographical advantage," wasn't affected by the Chaotic Maze.
He finally escaped into the facility.
When his body entered the facility, summoning Tang Rui Shoe Woman Jack and other monsters...
Wen Xishu finally felt safe.
"Damn it, people really shouldn't feel too happy, otherwise retribution comes swiftly!"
